    I'll go by and see if I can find one here in Houston - I'll let you know.

    The Taylor K-2006 is what you want. While you're at it order extra CYA reagent. That gets used up fast. If you're going to test calcium hardness often then get more R-0010, calcium buffer too. The nice thing about Bens kit is he tweaks the quantities and also includes an OTO kit for quick chlorine and pH tests....at least the PS-233 did and thing the 234 still does.

    Since I didn't discover this site until it was too late, I bought all my test kits from Taylor direct here the link: http://www.taylortechnologies.com/
    I get next day delivery since I'm close.

    I use a #79 Cyanuric Acid Turbidity test kit manufactured by Rainbow Lifeguard. It uses a larger sample than the Taylor kit so I think it is easier to use. Check the internet for a supplier but if my memory serves I bought it direct from the mfg.

    All in all Ben's kit is the best value --- I have over double the amount of his invested in my bag full of kits.

    I plan to get a better kit before the next swim season. A basic crappy one will do for now.

    Good news! Wal mart had an HTH 6 way test kit that tests CYA for 13 bucks.

    Mccato - where do you want it shipped? send me a PM and I'll get it to ya.
